The NTHU IC Design Technology Center (DTC) was established in November 3rd 2000. The mission of DTC is to investigate, develop and promote innovative, exploratory and leading SOC design and test technologies. In doing so, DTC will dedicate itself to advance NTHU as a world leader in such technologies and to transfer such technologies to the IC industry. In DTC, we have formed strong research teams by faculty members, researchers, and graduate students from the Department of Computer Science and Department of Electrical Engineering. Most of the faculty members are senior researchers in the areas of VLSI system/circuit design and test. DTC currently has more than ten full-time faculty members and more than two hundred full-time researchers and graduate students, with research interests in advanced VLSI/SOC system design, integration, synthesis, prototyping, verification, debugging, diagnosis, testing, etc. We also welcome part-time and visiting researchers to join us. The center is currently situated in the EECS Building, NTHU, including an administrative office and two research laboratories in the CS and EE Departments.
